SPRINGFIELD

Jalen Skaggs, Logan Grady and Will Roark went undefeated in their respective weight classes to help lead the Seneca Indians wrestling team to a second place finish at the Kinloch Classic Holiday Tournament at Parkview High School last weekend.

Skaggs, who remains unbeaten at 28-0 this season, turned in one of the more exciting matches when he decisioned Republic’s Kerik Crouse, 9-7, for first place at 160 pounds, dropping Crouse fell to 21-1 overall.

Roark brought his overall record to 24-1 with a 19-4 tech fall over Bentonville’s Aaron Grigsby, who entered the match at 26-2 overall. Roark then became the first wrestler to stop Sam Hampton of Blue Springs South this season with a 17-2 tech fall for the 120-pound title. Hampton entered the bout 28-0.

Grady improved to 23-2 overall with relative ease when he pinned Carthage’s Tommy Bradshaw, who began the match 17-0, to claim the 145-pound title in 31 seconds.

Grady’s performance accounted for 55 team points while Roark 54 team points for the Indians while Skaggs accounted for 53. That 162-point swing pushed the Indians to the top as they finished ahead of Ozark 360.5-318 for second place.
